Electric Charge

Electric Charge Review

Electric Charge might not be the most creative title for an online slot, but it's descriptive. Winning combinations lead to electric effects, and the Cash Spree symbols can award instant prizes. The visuals are well-executed, drawing inspiration from popular instant prize games.

Prior releases explored similar instant cash prize concepts, and the good news is that larger prizes don’t require a certain number of symbols. The maximum win is significant, and the bonus round multiplier applies to most Cash Spree prizes. Overall, it's worth checking out if you’re interested in instant jackpot mechanics.

Electric Charge Slot Features

The premium symbols offer payouts for 5-of-a-kind wins, and the Wild symbol substitutes for pay symbols. It cannot substitute for the Cash Spree or Scatter symbols, and landing 5 wilds on a payline awards a prize. You get Mystery Symbols that transform into the same randomly chosen matching pay symbol.

The Cash Spree Feature triggers with at least 1 Cash Spree symbol on reels 1 and 2. Cash Spree symbols have values. They can also land as Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega Cash Spree symbols, with different multipliers on your stake. All Cash Spree symbols pay their values instantly, and the “jackpot” Cash Spree symbols can appear on reels 4 and 5 only.

The Free Spins Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4, and this gives you a spin on the Free Spins Wheel. The wheel spin awards free spins, as well as a win multiplier for the feature.

The win multiplier is only awarded if you win either 25 or 30 free spins, and the multiplier will boost any free spin win excluding the Mega Cash Spree prize. You retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 scatters on the same free spin.

Review Summary

The game features instant cash prize releases. Electric Charge is similar to games with instant scatter jackpots, but includes extra features and an enhanced math model. You get mystery symbols on each spin, which is a bit unusual, and you only need 1 Cash Spree symbol to win a prize.

This is a bit unusual compared to most other similar games, and the size of your total win is not determined by the number of Cash Spree symbols either. You can land jackpot cash spree prizes from a single symbol, and the free spins multiplier also applies to Cash Spree prizes (bar the top-tier Mega prize). The potential win is notable, and overall Electric Charge is an interesting variant of the concept that may attract some attention.
